Blue Jays 2012-13 free agency and off-season thread 2.0

I would trade JPA and Marisnick in a package for Dickey in a heartbeat but doubt the mets are interested

Thanks everyone for the replies. Dickey may be 38, but he just had his best season after 3 very good ones. He's good for 200+ innings every year.

Dickey is almost a lock to be good/great for at least the next 3 seasons as he's gotten better with age.

The reason people are interested in Upton now is that a year from now you could be saying damn, why didn't the Jays try to trade for a 30 HR 900 OPS OF bat. He's already posted a 900 OPS in 2 of his 5 years. I don't know what potential you're looking for.

He had a down year because of some injuries. A healthy Upton is an elite player and if you can buy low you do it.

Vic Mackey: You better figure out how much you hate me. And how you're going to deal with that. 'Cause I'm not going anywhere.

Define "buying low." The D-Backs will ask the world for Upton even off a down season.

I have no doubt. I don't even think they'll trade him. I'm just pointing out that it's crazy to suggest he hasn't hit his potential when he's already had two 900 OPS seasons, and his 2012 was a disappointment cause of injuries.
